"Souvenirs ♪ Souvenirs ♪"

On the way home, Haruna sings happily. There was a lot of souvenirs in the bag he held in his hands. There is a rest that I cannot hold in my right hand.

These are sweets and decorations that Debra and Berhard have bought to Haruna. They're sweet to Haruna. Butterflies and flowers are like grandfathers who love their grandchildren.

It's too sweet and not good for emotional education, so stay away from it.

"Omiyaya ♪ Omiyaya ♪ Portmaniyato Onya-chan also Omiyaya ♪"

"Is Mom and Kunashina good?"

Suddenly, I put a punch on the fact that my mother and brother were missing.

"Uh?"

Haruna looks up at me with a strange face.

"Kuna doesn't do anything to Haruna. Mom doesn't think Haruna needs anything to do because she needs such a kuna."

"That's not it. Lanseal is you."

Stuck in words.

Love is not something others say.

"What about me? What did you do?"

In such a case, just divert the story.

"It would be useless if Haruna was not attached to .

"Are you?"

Does this guy have a fairy?

"Cats"

"Cat?"

Both Tutu and Shigure are cat beasts.

"The black cat tells Haruna. You have to be near to use it."

Speaking of black fur, it's raining, but did he say that in shadow? Is this the wisdom of a fairy?

"No good"

"Everywhere, all, it's useless because it doesn't work."

I was disappointed. I can't go wrong with just one child. I'm already a useless person.

When Haruna met her eyes, she rubbed what she misunderstood.

`` Hey, hey! ''

Make a funny laugh. I don't know. I don't know my feelings that I think it's not bad.

There are too many things I don't understand.

Why, where, where, or the more you think, the more unclear it becomes. Just like the fog over the city, things like me do not look intently.

White, past only white. There is no value in such things. It has been repeated many times that it is meaningless just to look for it.

Nevertheless, my chest hurts recently.

Whether it's because of the immovable left arm, because of the corner, whether it's because of rain or Haruna, sometimes I'm worried about my past.

I stared at the past as if staring at the fog. Someone is stunned to realize that nothing has been forgotten or that he has forgotten everything.

Only the sign of a dream feels close. However, the closer you go, the closer it disappears.

I do not understand.

I still don't understand me.

Where do you come from and where do you go? Did I have such a place, or is it still there?

Oh, but you can't get rid of it all with this one word.

"It seems stupid"

After the past. Now there is a lot to do now.

First, crush the knights.

Wipe out Elysium from Lemuria.

Then, if it gets in the way, destroy the Beastmen's League, Berhard, the Adventurers' Union and the Shokai.

After crushing it,

“…………… Before peace”

Can't you come back? Funny, am I the owner of such a dangerous thought?

"Now Haruna. You are"

What do you want in the future? Is there a question that remains to be asked to children who are too old?

"What?

Haruna did not answer.

did not exist. There is no trace of the small shadow rubbing on my right foot.

"Now ?! Oh, really?"

Weird sweat gushes out in the cold.

Looking around, there is an unusually thick fog. The avenue was shrouded in light chaos, all over white and white. There is no small thing in the scream of a woman without a carriage and a passing person.

"Chip"

No, don't be impatient. Don't be impatient in such a case.

Oh, yes.

I crouch and watch the snow under my feet.

Someone's knee hit the shoulder but ignored it. Discard your luggage and crawl to find a small footprint.

Following the dashes, I entered the back alley.

The fog is a bit clear and footprints are clearly visible. Definitely Haruna's.

"That idiot"

No, idiot is me.

A child of this age had been told by Tuttu to start running suddenly. To take your eyes off even for a moment.

Run behind a narrow alley.

Junk is blocking the road and there is only a gap for one child. He drew his sword without stopping the momentum. Make a vertical shot, make a cut, and blow a kick.

Rebuild your posture while rolling out of balance.

I went to an open place. It's like a small playground.

Haruna was looking at me and Pokan.

The other "children" are looking at Pokan and me.

Chin, and put the sword in the sheath.

"What's that?"

"What's wrong!"

I just got a rough voice. The kids around Haruna and "Kay" scatter.

Scattered and gathered in one place.

Rather, it uses a columnar object as a shield. What ’s this drum?

"Please don't get angry. There is a phase wave for communication, but the sensory organs attract immature beastling children. It's not because of this child. '

It's a woman's voice.

Yeah, hey ... I talked about this drum.

"Where are you?

"Ash, the Knights of Elysium Expedition, the tenth commander of the Lemuria Chamber of Commerce. What are you? And their children?"

"Knight!"

"Cool!"

"Sorry!"

A child's scream resounds everywhere.

"Everyone, calm down. When you run away, don't scatter because Makina does what you do

The drums move around and tell the children. It seems surprisingly made of soft material. No, or something like this? But the children do not subside. He cried intensely and ran around appropriately.

"I'll give you this."

Haruna gave out sweets to a nearby child. Egg Boro, one of the souvenirs.

"......... sweet"

The same beast man as Haruna smiled in an instant with a cloudy face with just one egg.

"A little"

"Me too"

"Me too!"

"Junban, Junban"

Children flood in Haruna.

"Wow, don't get anything from strangers!

"This child is Haruna. Did he just take the name and treat him as a stranger?"

"That's right, but remember the kids are weird. It's not a world where give me chocolate can go. ''

"What are you talking about?"

Post-war or no-war.

"What are you? What is the belief of a knight of Elysium that a beast child calls “ ”? Is it a light source like that?

"I'm neither a baby boy nor a mazacon. In addition, I'm not a light guy who reaches out to an unspecified number of women."

The comparison is the worst.

"It's weird, Makina's Six Sensor has detected an awkward man Aura."

"So what are you saying?"

It's an unclear drum.

"Say, you"

It's a strangely annoying voice. More worrisome than that.

"Cho, what are you doing? !

"No, I'm worried about the contents."

I found a delicate gap in the structure and tried to open it with my nails up.

"you! Are you familiar with the habit of your first meeting and want to look into the real face of Lady? !

"Is the Lady a hidden side? What is the race?"

"Makina is a dwarf. I'm rumored to be a pretty dwarf in a dwarf-I won't show it to anyone who has no delicatessen like you-'

It is resisted moderately.

What a delicatessen, there is no sign of the word delicacy.

"What happened?"

He is stopped by Haruna and stops his hand. I almost stripped part of the armor.

"It's nice"

"with who?"

What do you say, this kid.

"That, with my aunt"

"Aunt? ! Makina Is this a maiden? ! I'm a virgin! If you are very young! It's Machu Picchu!

"I don't know."

What a real thing.

"Is Makina a friend of ?"

"I don't know such a rude person"

"Uh?"

Haruna tilts her head. I was leaning too much like a gymnastics.

The sweets seemed to be evenly distributed to all the children. Is there anything left to eat?

"Hey, Makina"

"What are you familiar with?"

I say one thing I noticed. A soot white robe was visible in the child's clothes.

"Is these kids orphans?"

“………………”

I felt a little killing from the funny drums.

Well, I guess.

"I heard that some of the firms were preparing to pick it up."

It's not the age when everyone can work. The firm should take over and hire it.

"I can't trust Lemuria affiliated firms. Everything is connected to the royalties in some way. It's a connection with the king who burned these children's houses. '

"What about the Central Shokai?"

More than half are beastmen. There are discriminations and wages are cheap and hard, but there are livings with roofs that cannot be frozen. Aside from the tasty taste, you should be able to eat rice.

"Chuo Shokai cannot be trusted more. They are slavers. More than 30 people are missing. "

"Hey, slave."

King Lemuria had banned slaves. Lemuria's firm still protects it, but is it unrelated to the central firm?

“And it ’s solely the work of a knight to take children away.”

It is a rugged term.

I've heard of such extra money, but never thought of doing it myself.

" , I won't do that."

Haruna defended, despite not knowing my job.

"Is it true?

"Yes, weird dwarves are more likely to sell at a higher price than oysters."

“………………”

It's a joke, but she couldn't laugh.

"Well, I'll do what I didn't see. Haruna will return.

"Yes"

No more involvement is needed. The trouble is already unsatisfactory.

She held Haruna with her free hand. It was heavier than expected.

"These are brothers, sisters, or like-minded children. If your feelings for the child are genuine and there is something that sympathizes with you, close them with mercy. '

"I'll say it again. I'll do what I didn't see."

"I understand. If you betray ............... it will be very resentful. "

"Have it your way"

I'm not telling a lie. I will never be involved again.

"Bye"

Haruna waves her hand to the children.

"Babyai"

The children turn their hands. Makina was waving with a strange arm.

I looked back only once, but kept waving.

Go back the way you came.

Haruna came close to her neck.

"What? Cold?"

A little trembling.

"Poor"

"Hmm?"

"The people are sorry."

I don't know where I'm sleeping, but it's cold and snowy. Beastmen will be able to endure. In fact, Heem's kid was uncomfortable. I won't have that long.

"Forget. The world is not equal. I thank my relatives rather than pity on others."

"Yes, I understand.

"Wrong?"

So what is "poor"?

"That humans will die. Well, they will die."

"... maybe ..."

I feel a little sympathy for something. I would have helped if I had more power, more money, and no organizational cling.

Did you help?

"I'm sorry"

“……………”

I don't answer Haruna.

I can't answer anything about a poor child. I have no such words.
